Given a graph and a vector defined on the graph, a quadratic form is defined on the graph depending on its edges. In order to minimize the quadratic form on trees or unicyclic graphs associated with signless Laplacian, the notion of basic edge set of a graph is introduced, and the behavior of the least eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenvectors is investigated. Using these results a characte...

The Hosoya index of a graph is defined as the total number of the matchings, including the empty edge set, of the graph. The Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph is defined as the total number of the independent vertex sets, including the empty vertex set, of the graph. Let U(n,∆) be the set of connected unicyclic graphs of order n with maximum degree ∆. We consider the Hosoya indices and the Me...
The signless Laplacian Q and edge-Laplacian S of a given graph may or not be invertible. Moore-Penrose inverses are studied. In particular, using the incidence matrix, we find combinatorial formulas for trees. Also, present odd unicyclic graphs.
The harmonic index is one of the most important indices in chemical and mathematical fields. It’s a variant of the Randić index which is the most successful molecular descriptor in structure-property and structureactivity relationships studies. The harmonic index gives somewhat better correlations with physical and chemical properties comparing with the well known Randić index. The harmonic ind...
New graph invariants, named exponential Zagreb indices, are introduced for more than one type of index. After that, in terms lists on equality results over special graphs presented as well some new bounds unicyclic, acyclic, and general obtained. Moreover, these invariants determined operations.
Let G be a graph with integral edge weights. A function d : V (G) → Zp is called a nowhere 0 mod p domination function if each v ∈ V satisfies ( d(v) + ∑ u∈N(v) w(u, v)d(u) ) 6= 0 mod p, where w(u, v) denotes the weight of the edge (u, v) and N(v) is the neighborhood of v. The subset of vertices with d(v) 6= 0 is called a nowhere 0 mod p dominating set. It is known that every graph has a nowher...
Let G be a (p, q)-graph with edge domination number γ′ and edge domatic number d′. In this paper we characterize connected graphs for which γ′ = p/2 and graphs for which γ′ + d′ = q + 1. We also characterize trees and unicyclic graphs for which γ′ = bp/2c and γ′ = q −∆′, where ∆′ denotes the maximum degree of an edge in G.
The purpose of this paper is to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the tensor product of two or more graphs to be connected, bipartite or eulerian. Also, we present a characterization of the duplicate graph G⊕K2 to be unicyclic. Finally, the girth and the formula for computing the number of triangles in the tensor product of graphs are worked out.
The detour index of a connected graph is defined as the sum of detour distances between all unordered pairs of vertices. We determine the n-vertex unicyclic graphs whose vertices on its unique cycle all have degree at least three with the first, the second and the third smallest and largest detour indices respectively for n ≥ 7.
